STUNNING: Rep. Marsha Blackburn Exposed As Blatant Hypocrite

[julesjones19971]

Great example of stupidity and hypocrisy on display. But she is from; TENNESSEE a state with a GLOBAL reputation for abject stupidity. (Scopes monkey trial anyone?) We have idiots like this in the congress and we wonder why we're just this side of bankrupt.

[tyingagreement]

This guy is an incredible dick. I will not watch this channel if this prick still works for MSNBC.

[maslolajax1]

You haters need to get a life! This anchorman is a prick.

[nlcatter]

hagel fought for USA - Rush bought illegal drugs for himself

[scottwbutler]

Who is this guy on msnbc? He needs to control himself. I commend the women for her composure. I don't know many people who could tolerate his abusive and aggressive interview style. I heard his name is David Shuster. He is so biased that he can't keep it in his pants. Marsha has more class and intelligence in her little finger than Dave Shiester could ever hope to acquirer. He calls himself a journalist but he is a news reader. No talent just a rotten bitter bitch. Shame on him and msnbc.

[acchokiefan]

@MrFadiDodi I live in Tennessee. You used the words "ignorant" and "disgusted" in your post. I just wanted to try to help you understand, if I might. I can tell by your post, and it's not your fault, that you have not spent a lot of time here. You, and it's not your fault, greatly underestimate the power of STUPID. Look at our congresspeople. I can't believe that they can find their way to work every day. Ignorance is so thick here that some days it blocks out the sunlight. Stupid is like a win

[tokenannie]

oh my....saw this evil cunt on hardball....she wouldn't shut up.....are there any sane Republican women????????????????

[nlcatter]

@tokenannie you are so right

[prometheus5700]

How does she DO that? It's like she has a script running in her brain (directly wired to her big mouth) that doesn't stop until it hits #end script# (or #loop#). Jeezus it must be maddening to talk with this moron. She's full of sh#t.

[GraceFSA]

What about OBAMA now Schwirlz? Chopper shot down killing Navy seals. I bet your hindsight on Bush look pretty good 3 years ago. Ignorant bastard. Bet you thought the Big O was gonna actually yank our troops out 3 years ago. LOL, Bin laden dead and we are still there. Write it down, lick it, stamp it, and be sure to send it to the White House.

[NgaiOlaudah]

Thank you this Marsha Blackburn is one racist, bumptious, dumb, fatuous, empty-headed, hypocritical Stepford Wife of a southern bitch! Four years later, this idiot appeared on Laurence O'Donnell's show. There is only thing this bitch's lips can do for me!

[woodnymph558]

She is on track.. and what about all the DEMS..that slam Republicans.. So why isn't he slamming the times.. about this ad.. and why slam her about a soldiers name.. does OBAMA know about every thing.. HE IS AN IDIOT!!!

[MrFadiDodi]

salvadory is absolutely right. she rambles on when people talk to her and never answers a simple yes or no. what a idiot. i cant believe people let idiots this ignorant hold office. i'm disgusted.

[salvadory]

this woman doesnt answer questions she brings up unrelated issues and never will answer yes or no ever- watched her tonite ramble on over all the other guests - a rude condescending shill!

[assemblyguy]

Typical Republican liar.She cannot stay on track. she has political ADD. Will lie and never admit what was wrong and simply jump onto another topic rather than face the truth and admit it. And she doesn't know what she should have known.She is a douche. The average person may not know who was killed, but for her not to know, that is an embarrassment. It seems that knowing facts will not pay dividends. Just not profitable enough for her I guess.

[assemblyguy]

Typical Republican liar.She cannot stay on track. she has political ADD. Will lie and never admit what was wrong and simply jump onto another topic rather than face the truth and admit it. She is a douche.

[oldgrapeape]

What more can be said about this dude who is a clown in his own right, just look at the Lib Network this miss-guided joker works for. ,, God Bless

[kenchandler1]

Only reason he knew was a researcher put it in his script.What a smug nobody he is.

[lilgrasshoppah]

@kenchandler1 Of course he has a staffer giving him information. That's the staffer's job. Asking the questions is his. WHY DOESN'T SHE HAVE A STAFFER, putting it in her script? That's her job: answering a very simple question, and she couldn't. Because it's NOT IMPORTANT.

[rushingtn]

You people are pathetic.

[sleepyhead408]

She must be on crack if she thinks anybody is going to vote for her! its a mans world but not only that she is just down right crazy smh! I vote no on Marsha Blackburn!

[Stacey3Bernier]

This journalist is an ass. The soldier that died wasn't even in her district. He needs to get his facts straight before he tries to ambush her. Journists should try to maintain some sort of neautrality and he clearly does not!

[makenna88]

He gave her too much of an outlet to talk about all the milk, cookies and footrubs she supposedly gives to soldiers' families. He needed more questions - more facts than just one name.

[gedimindtrix]

Marsha Blackburn received 100k from the largest telecoms like AT&T to oppose internet neutrality. She received these funds in the form of campaign donations and is doing the bidding for these companies who wish to smash small businesses like netflix and youtube. Go to opensecrets to view proof of her sponsorship and government documentation of her travels.

[jaydell04]

Great ambush on the enemy republican congresswoman. I'll bet that's what the MSNBC brass said to this shill reporter after this "interview." Then came the proof of his disgraceful journalism in the form of an apology because the soldier he named wasn't even in the congresswoman's district. Here's that apology(put . in place of (dot): youtube(dot)com/watch?v=Cap2S9­EiWqg&feature=youtube_gdata_pl­ayer

[Rawego]

the guy looked up the name and is now throwing that name in her face. msnbc, 'nuff said :))

[JohnRhysMusician]

I felt so sorry for Congressman Blackburn after Shuster's ignorance. Liberals should take this down.

[Radd83]

Jeremy Bohan was not from her district, and Shuster had to apologize for it.

[Rawego]

@Radd83 were facts ever important to agenda driven idiots? :))

[phillipmarch22]

If I remember correctly, this is the bitch that coined the term, "Drill, baby, drill!" I think that we all need to pitch in and hire a plumber to have some of the crude oil spewing in the Gulf right now piped directly in to her shower head, oh hell, let's make it every faucet in her house.

She is just another stupid Republican hick that doesn't know WTF she is talking about!

[kevinjones238]

Republican cunt properly owned.

[mexmetal666]

What hypocrite bitch!!!!

[adtfrost666]

I am a far left liberal living in Tennessee, and I'm actually in Marsha Blackburn's district... I love my state, I've traveled the world, and I really do think that Tennessee is one of the most beautiful places on earth. It's not Tennessee's fault that it's inhabited, mostly, by idiots and represented by them as well.. But let it be known that good human beings exist here as well. I cannot stand that woman.

[phillipmarch22]

@adtfrost666 Thanks for your honesty. It is not your fault Blackburn lives in the state you love. Let's all not blame the states, blame the politicians that make stupid decisions and say stupid things! When it comes to Texas though, it is easier said then done. Texas wins the world record for spitting out the worst politicians in the universe. Sorry Texas!

[soakless]

I agree. Thanks for the post.

[disneypassholder]

I have voted for more Democrats than Republicans, but I have voted for both. This interviewer interrupted her EVERY time he asked her a question. If you have a legitimate point, you shouldn't have to talk OVER the person you are supposed to be talking WITH. He invited her to talk about the advertisement, so she prepared herself for the opportunity to NOT WASTE HIS TIME, and he repays her by going completely off topic? He's a shoddy journalist.

[soakless]

Yes I agree it was an underhanded way to create ratings for his show but still he made his point.

[1badsteed]

I am a Democrat, and what this "reporter" did was wrong. He prepared his attack in advance, thats a given. But it wasn't to refute her story, it was to misdirect and attack. He was a snotty, arrogant cocky jerk. I'll bet she knows more about her constituents than he ever dreamed of knowing about the people in his own city.

[stjimmy111111]

id prefer elected officials to be of the not so attractive side so their looks arent the main issue taking away from anything they say.

[stjimmy111111]

straight up GILF

[tonycallit2]

Consider the source MSNBC. Their ratings are in the tank. They need to create sensationalist journalism and try to make her look foolish so people will watch. Blackburn is a great Congress member in terms of all she has done for people of her district and this country. MSNBC shows that they have a problem with women once again. They did the same thing to Hillary Clinton when they wanted Obama to win the nomination. Degrade instead of asking thought provoking questions.

[digitaldoodler7]

Unfortunately, I live in this idiots district - She is an embarassment to TN. Im ashamed this self serving parasite represents this beautiful state.

[leycyp]

Marsha Blackburn should be Speaker of the House..To ask her to name the name of the last soldier killed is ridiculous with

all a congressperson has on their plate in

a day. I believe it was an even chance she

would know the answer. I doubt the clown

interviewing her could name three of the

delegates to the 2nd Continental Congress.

[kenny1415]

Marsha Blackburn.. The worst congresswoman in america! Totally clueless on the issues.. only knows one thing to say and boy does she say it.. "we need less government and lower taxes" lol works for ther though ppl somehow vote her dumbass in .... So good for her i suppose.. She doesn't get my vote.. Thank god for a college education

[dutchy420]

stupid lib...askin Congresswoman Bachmann to defend or apologize for Rush. then the "journalist" wants to defend the NY Times. and then he changes the topic to embarass her. i like Marsha Bachmann, it is a shame she didnt know who the last soldier in her district to pass was. but does guy treat dems the same, idk and i highly doubt it.

[trauts01]

Her name is Marsha Blackburn, not Michelle Bachmann. Two totally different people and yet each apparently as dense and manipulative than the other.

Personally, I feel all of these false prophets need to be embarassed.

They have coopted a true grassroots movement and the fools that hang on every word of these shills deserve all of the frustration they get.

You, of all people, should not call someone else stupid.

[dutchy420]

errr Marsha Blackburn...guess i have a few conservative women on my mind

[utUBEr00001]

@dutchy420 were you born yesterday? FOX does the conservative dance and MSNBC does the liberal on. come on, its not a conspiracy its the way people like their "news".

[tbcchicago]

You like Marsha Bachmann so much you don't even know her name is Marsha Blackburn? I can understand how you would mix her up with Michelle Bachmann...VERY EASY to do...Each one is off their nut.

[seadoggiedog]

stupid lying whore,fuck off

[rshots2001]

She still didn't have an answer. What a douchebag.

[EquusFossil]

he didn't even get his information right, he had to apologize afterwards because the soldier that died belonged to another district that wasn't hers

[tytyty858]

she is a nut just like all of the republvians. the party really is over. only 19% of the USA now! The republican party is a party of old white straight angry men!

they will be gone in 10 years!

[oldwarhorse1865]

I like the way he jumped from Move On to something else. What an ASSHOLE!!

[yaimavol]

Ms. Blackburn is a fantastic representave. We need a lot more like her in Congress to get our fiscal house in order.

[jdelurgio]

What a fool! He even got the information about the soldier who was killed wrong!

[HeVidProductions]

MSNBC sucksssssssssssssssssssss

[disneypassholder]

I'm not getting it. He's trying to set her up through second rate entrapment, and she's trying to pretend like he's a responsible journalist. He's annoying with all of his half-hearted accusations. What a waste.

[maneeak]

fuck the war, fight the fascists

[bartlettbooks]

How long will the 7th district be stuck with this jerk?

[bartlettbooks]

Blackburn typical republican jerk. She hates unions.

[Amarx00]

I never knew this kind of journalism still existed in Amercia, reminds me of Paxman in the US.

So many dumb fucks making comments here, dont even know what a journalistic line is.

[codernur]

fox news is a biased neocon news channel with a zionist jew as owner.

Lowlife fucks no better than cnn.

[Madrox145]

What is funny to me is, people say "oh fox news is so bias, bla bla bla". Well lets see, from watching both and doing a lot of research i can tell you fox news has 1 bias hour of TV a day. That's hannity, and even he has alternative views on his show (but it is bias).  Now lets take MSNBC, 24/7 around the clock bias from what ive seen so far, it is mind-boggling. Granted there ratings are very low so they dont get much attention, but boy they should. All day long left-wing bias.

[yes4me]

and O Reilly and Hannity and Morris and Glenn Beck and Gretchen Carlson and Steve Doocy and Megyn Kendall and Brian Kilmeade...

[Madrox145]

Its to bad your research sucks ass. Only 3 of the ones you mentioned are commentaors who have expressed there views. So good job there dumbfuck. Lets see O reilly is an independent who is socially conserative, guess that makes him bias. Glen beck is a libertarion who has bashed bush over and over, but GOD FORBID he bashes your precious mesiah. And hannity is the only bias republican, but guess what...he shows has democrats to debate with on every night. Too bad MSNBC never does, thanks

[yes4me]

Oreilly is so "conserative" is like to scream at his own guests. Glen Beck is someone who asked people to bear arm and shoot Obama. And Hannity is a lunatic. How about you do more research instead of calling people like you know something.

[Madrox145]

Yes glen beck told people to shoot obama you fuckin moron. There way no reason to even read the rest of your post after that. What a waste of time some liberals are.

[wjmac22]

you are a liar...and clearly you don't watch the shows you are referencing!

[yes4me]

you are clearly the ignorant lunatic who doesn't know crap. What I have to explain you what you could have find in less than 5 seconds of search just cause you think you are entitle to something? You know what? Ok I am going to be HELL nice. here are a few links...

[yes4me]

well I tried for 2 days to post the links and it doesn't work somehow. Just search on youtube. there are plenty.

[45564766]

Exposed.  Owned.

[greenmean1]

typical southern ignorant politician and a hypocrite to boot, Johnny reb's stupid example of the delicate southern belle, what a joke.

[micheletta799]

Totally agree with DrPhucker and abritt10. This is a perfect example of an MSNBC drive-by media hit attempt on a Republican. What's obvious to anyone watching is the baiting by the interviewer. Does MSNBC think this scores points? Not in the majority of America. Why didn't they ask this same question (name of last constituent killed in Iraq) of Democrat congressmen/congresswomen? Oh, of course not.

[DrPhucker]

No media bias here!! This is why I refuse to watch MSNBC. Representative Blackburn should've stood up and called this "journalist" out for what he was trying to do on TV and walked off the set. A swift kick to his nuts would've added a nice touch. That's how we should handle the media today. Fucking losers.

[uyd]

STFU RUSH LIMPBALLS!!!

[abritt10]

NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc is the biggest bunch of liberal homers. This interview was a complete trap for her and gives people the wrong viewpoint of what the real issues are today. The LEFT is buying their way to re-election with this stimulus package for ACORN, contraceptives for low-income families, bailout money for fiscally irresponsible homeowners (or have-beens) when they need to realize you are only dividing the country further with these types of legislation. We need TERM LIMITS!!!!!

[grim523]

She was just going to spout off unfounded conspiracy theories that have become the way of the Republican party in the last election. I think its interesting to have either side called hypocrites because they both are.

[lizardman77]

She's the only person in Congress from Tennessee that voted against the idiotic bailout passed by Bush, and voted for by McCain and Obama. This "host" is a prick, period, but it is MSNBC so what can you expect?

[00agentzero00]

this guy is a total prick. The reason she was brought on the show was to talk about rush limbaugh and the politics surrounding that issue. remembering the name of that soldier (which he had to look down at his paper 4 different times to say) doesn't have anything to do with her caring or not caring for our troops.

[ninjayang]

Why would anyone know the name of a soldier that died? There's lots of them, and knowing the name isn't going to help anybody. That was a dumb question. I would be really pissed if that was a Democrat, but I'm assuming that since she's a Republican, she probably is rather heartless in general.

[twistandcrawl]

What a crooked thief this Blackburn is!

[4rcane]

what a question, who was the last soldier killed in your state? I like to see him ask a Democrat taht question

[greenmean1]

Learn to spell dumbass! and "tahts" not a democratic question.

[kenny1415]

i live in marsha blackburn's district and i can tell you first hand she is the worst congressperson to ever represent this district ever!! all she knows is too say im for less taxes and smaller government... funny how she just voted with bush 98% of the time and we have the biggest government in history as well as largest debt in history..

[tgcolbert]

I also live in her district and she is not a liberal fool but an American. Sorry ass hole take your liberal butt and move to MA. We want miss you

[parkave69]

lol he said she was from western Tennessee. you could see her bite her lip she was so angry. this woman thinks she is too good for west tn. she only claims to represent the nashville area

[sirradiodude]

Schuster ultimately gets OWNED by his attempt to showboat a guest appearance and ambush a guest. He's a moron. Only a coward attempts to interview someone on a pre-arraigned media and topic then pulls an obscure fact thats not related to lead a personal attack on them. Good luck getting anyone else on your show. Blackburn might not be the smartest cookie out there, but no one from either side of the aisle deserves that treatment.

[abcdefghix2005]

From Wikipedia:

"Shuster then asked her for the name of the last soldier from her congressional district to be killed in Iraq. She was unable to answer.

Shuster afterward issued an ON-AIR APOLOGY stating Jeremy Bohannon, the soldier Shuster claimed to be the last soldier from her district to be killed in Iraq, was not one of Rep. Blackburn's constituents,[8] but rather a constituent of Rep. John S. Tanner."

What an idiot.

[czlespaul]

Unfortunatly, I live in an area of Tennessee that this woman represents.

[joeyjj3]

Vote her out.

[czlespaul]

I voted against her yesterday. She won.

[RubeksCube]

pwned...

[GOPjesus]

ha! that pussy reporter almost starts to cry at the end...probably soiled his pant too.

Betray Us! did it and done...a REAL General would say NO to war crimes. Just another pol pot pundit with jewelry on his jacket. a fucking joke.

[garnetspur]

The solider wasnt even in her district and Shuster was forced to apologize to Rep. Blackburn the following day on TV. Some of you are just idiots and believe anything the MSM says. Think for yourselves and do your own research, you fuckin morons.

[schwirzl]

blood on your hands for voting bush twice

[BIGPOTDAVE]

Why should she know the name? Thats not her responsibility. I bet tucker didn't know the name until he looked it up so why should she be embarrassed for this?

this is the best he could come up with?

WEAK!!!

[CadicusTheDamned]

She was so owned in this clip. Soccer mom just got served a steaming hot cup of shut the fuck up.

[AgrippinaMinor]

She's a moron.

[EnochSpeaks]

The city of Clarksville refuses to comply with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Now Mayor Piper, has appointed an all white citizens commission to develop a new city charter. How is that fair to the minority community within her district.

[GOPjesus]

even if he got the details wrong the question still stands...that dirty cunt has blood all over her hands and couldn't name ONE soldier that died from Iraq...and you petty fucks argue about details...fucking moveondotorg..wtf is wrong with you people??

shallow...

[sennapods]

I cannot believe that a broad this dumb got elected to national office.

[ycartrob]

Private Bohannon was from Bon Aqua, TN, which is in Hickman County. Hickman County is in the 7th District, which is Marsha Blackburn's district. Took me about 3 minutes to figure that out using wikipedia. Do a little research nate, you look silly.

[Jayhawk68]

Natedogg614 is right. Schuster retracted his statement. While it is true that Bohannon is from Hickman County, the part of the county that Bon Aqua is in is actually in another congressional district. I was wrong too.

[angryamerican]

Shuster is disengenuous partisan hack.

When was the last time Shuster has been to Iraq?

Army Private Jeremy Bohannon didn't live Blackburn's District.

w w w. newsbusters. org

Remove spaces.

[Jayhawk68]

You must get your info from Limbaugh. He comes from Hickman County, TN which is in Blackburn's 7th district.

[clemtoe]

it seems that every time schuster tries to trouble the water, he ends up making a fool of himself.

i mean, leaving aside that the soldier he mentioned was in fact from a democrat's district, does he really think he can credibly make an "equivalence" between the sliming of an explicitly political figure like a congressmember and the sliming of an explicitly non-political figure like a general in the military float?

[bxblox]

Bet she didnt expect him to go at her so hard.

[Natedogg614]

HA!! So they now try to blame the "Betray-us" thing on Rush Limbaugh? Sounds like a load of liberal BS to me!

[bxblox]

He made up the name...

[jasonlajoie]

I liked where he was going with this, but honestly, he could learn a lot from Bill O on how to rail-road a guest. He just kept repeating himself and had to re-read his point off his paper. If he had half of Bill O's abilities he could have torn her to shreds exposing her hypocrisy. He should have asked the names of the last 5 soldiers killed from her district, she probably doesn't know a single name, yet she says, she is in close contact with families and military in the field.

[Jayhawk68]

This was absolutely brilliant on Schuster's part. He used to work for Faux News but has obviously seen the light. I loved it when Blackburn panicked and started talking about important the soldiers in her district were.

[asdffd]

Seriously, if MSNBC is smart and cares about ratings they will replace Tucker with Shuster- quick!

[themarvination]

Obviously Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn is more responsive to her neoconservative paymasters than to the constituents in her district who get fooled into electing her to the Beltway.

[asdffd]

God bless David Shuster! Exposing this war loving phony for the hypocritical liar that she is! Too bad we can't send her over to Iraq to take that fallen soldiers place.

[maddogg41283]

In other words... It's Ok if you're a Republican.

[waycooljunior1]

please get rid of Tucker Carlson.. he needs to go to Faux News

[jonathansstewart]

good to have this up for discussion.

[sagecast]

Hypocrisy laid bare by one brave journalist. An exception in a Washington press corps held captive to GOP talking points.

[gunnykiln]

A fine example of what is wrong with journalism. Playing gothca games for ratings.

[1dk2]

MediaAction - you can't play "got cha games" if there isn't anything to "got cha" over!

This is typyical Marsha Blackburn, enjoy, there will be alot more!

[gunnykiln]

Ya, members of congress should memorize the price of various grocery items; and now lists of dead soldiers names and ages, etc.

These types of questions are stupid and they tell us a lot more about the reporter than the reported.

[asdffd]

Yeah, what was Shuster thinking. I mean, after she learns all the rightwing talking points she doesn't have room left in that little ole brain of hers to remember the name of the last soldier killed in her district. Oh wait, SHE DID SAY she keeps in touch "every day" with what is going on with the servicemen from her district. LIAR. Rush Limbaugh (repeating a caller) laughingly called Vietnam vet Chuck Hagel "Senator Betrayus"- why didn't the Republicans call for a vote condemning that?

[ftw997]

You're right, gunnykiln, the names of dead soldiers are just like grocery items. *rolls eyes*

[asdffd]

Ouch!

[gunnykiln]

Yes, in the context of "got cha" journalism they are the same. Even worse, there is a story that the dead soldier that Shuster uses as a political pawn isn't even in her district. Do you think members of congress memorized the thousands that died in their districts in WWII? In many places they wouldn't have time to do anything else: just sit all day long memorizing lists of dead soldiers.

Keep those googly eyes rolling though.

[ftw997]

World War 2 was an entire generation of sacrifice. There has been zero sacrifice asked of the 300 million Americans before the Iraq War (besides "go shopping"). The only people sacrificing are the military and their families, the rest of the country is going about our business. And the only people perpetuating this useless war are the ones who are more concerned about their political party than their citizens. There's your "political pawn" for you.

[rhan63]

What the "got cha" here? The kid was from her district - she claims to spend time with the family and troops - maybe she just spends time with the troops that are alive and doesn't want to get to wrapped up in the ones that die?

[Natedogg614]

Actually, as it turns out, from some sources I have seen, this soldier is NOT from Rep. Blackburn's district. He is from the district of Rep. Tanner (D). Perhaps Mr. Shuster needs to double-check his sources the next time he wants to exploit a fallen soldier for partisan political purposes (not that I should expect anything less from liberals).

[doobtribe]

No, but those that do say they are in close touch everyday with their families, should.

Apparently you failed to memorized that and realize what hipocrites like her say to get elected.

[cornbreadjunkie]

Wow, that woman is so stupid.

[MediaAction]

Like this video? 5-star it. Favorite it. Pass to friends.
